Hello, I have a Mathematica problem that perhaps someone has come across...
I have a Sun box running Solaris8 with Mathematica 4.0 installed. I am trying to
compile the "fastbinary" addon (binary.tm) for Mathematica. I have downloaded it
from mathsource and I am having some problems compiling it. (I am using
GNU gcc for my compiler). From what I have read, I can either use mcc to
compile this (with the CC flag set to gcc) or use mprep and them compile
by hand. Here is what is going on:
Using mcc:
$ mcc -o binary
-l/usr/local/mathematica/AddOns/MathLink/DevelopersKits/Solaris/CompilerAdditions/
binary.tm -lnsl -lsocket
binary.tm:468: unterminated character constant
Manually:
$ mprep binary.tm -o binary..c
$ gcc -o binary
-l/usr/local/mathematica/AddOns/MathLink/DevelopersKits/Solaris/CompilerAdditions/
binary.c -lnsl -lsocket
binary.tm:468: unterminated character constant
I can not seem to get around this. I have ftp'd the files to another
solaris host w/Mathematica
and I get slightly differing results (it complains with mcc about 4000
errors and fails)
I am probably doing something idiotic, as I have not compiled anything
in years...
but I would like to know what it is. I am trying to read in some large
data sets
and I have heard that this is the way to do it (w/fast binary)
Thanks for the time.
Bob
